New Forum Section

Yer Mom · 04-25-2006, 01:36 PM

Anyone at all interested in a new forum section where people can post new free games they've found that are actually decent. We might even go so far as to add new mods to already exsisting games.

Free Games - Sounds like a great name to me. I've been looking everywhere on the internet for new games that are free and worth playing, but I can't find any. I'm sure that our TG'rs know of some, so either post them in this thread, or give me your opinion on a new forum section based entirely on free software.

You could just post them in this thread!

**Apophis** · 04-25-2006, 06:07 PM

Yeah, I honestly think a thread could handle this type of thing and we don't need an entire forum section for it.

Here are a few good free games (This is just the stuff I've got installed now):

Soldat A 3rd person shooter that requires some crazy twitch skills.
Battle for Wesnoth A turn based strategy game. It is kinda complicated, has a steep learning curve, and takes a long time to finish a game, but if you're looking to kill time...
Scorched3D A 3D remake of the old DOS game Scorched Earth. It's basically just an artillery game with fancy graphics, bots, and network play.
Freedoom It's doom, but free. It's a SourceForge project that aims to assemble all the resources necessary to play a complete Doom remake. Doom is so much more fun with modern FPS controls (WASD and a mouse). You'll need a source port to play it though. I use KDX.

All these games except Wesnoth run just fine off a flash drive too, incase you can't install on the computer you want to play on *Cough* Work/School *Cough*

America's Army (duh) is also a good choice.

Oh, man, I loved Scorched Earth! This is going to be great!

We played it here in the past but there are so many new people, so in case some people aren't aware of BNT - Black Nova Traders.

If you play it be prepared to lose several days of your life.

Maybe its something to think about bringing back to TG?

Free game? Dystopia!!! I've even updated my sig link, so you don't have to download it straight from xfire. Ain't I good to y'all?

TychoCelchuuu · 04-26-2006, 02:15 PM

"Dystopia is free" my foot. It's free if you shell out 50 bucks for Half-Life 2, in which case every Half-Life 2 mod is free.

1. $50 sounds rather excessive. I'm sure you can find it cheaper if you hunt around.
2. $9 get's you HL2DM, which can be hacked to run dystopia
3. Dystopia itself is free, just like NS is if you happen to own HL1.

ScratchMonkey · 04-27-2006, 12:22 AM

You still need a computer, too! So I guess it's not so free after all!

munchkin · 05-01-2006, 08:02 AM

Dystopia will also run on a demo version of HL2 - but I'm not sure how legit this may be. It's a great game, so shell out $9 for HL2 DM.

Have this list sitting around. Enjoy.

Bontago and Armagetron... those are two of my favorite free games. Boy... it's funny how much fun you can get out of stuff without paying a cent (other than Internet access) when with all these games these days it seems like you have to buy something every freaking month to keep up. Oh, Soldat's also fun

**CingularDuality** · 05-01-2006, 01:56 PM

I used to play a side-scrolling (actually more vertical scrolling) motorcycle game at work that was shareware. It was mostly ramps in midair that you had to get just right to avoid obstacles. I want to say it was called BikeMania or something like that, but I thought I'd run it by you all to see if you've heard of it.
